"The increase of MicroRna-155 is the result of cellular breakdown due to an increase of metabolic, dietary, respiratory and environmental acids. Increased tissue acidity will lead to inflammation and long term inflammation will lead to cancer." Dr Robert O Young
ScienceDaily (Apr. 19, 2011) — A new study shows how inflammation can help cause cancer. Chronic inflammation due to infection or to conditions such as chronic inflammatory bowel disease is associated with up to 25 percent of all cancers.
This study by researchers at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center -- Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC -- James) found that inflammation stimulates a rise in levels of a molecule called microRNA-155 (miR-155).
This, in turn, causes a drop in levels of proteins involved in DNA repair, resulting in a higher rate of spontaneous gene mutations, which can lead to cancer.
